Why Ben? I thought he was just in this to promote his books but I guess he wants more.

Maybe he wants to be our first black VP. Both men are prone to speaking before they think so this could be actually hilarious to watch.

To be fair, what Carson does is more "sleep talking" than anything else.

Say what you will about Obama but at least he's a pretty cool dude in real life.

Trump is an asshole.

He's coming to my city tomorrow to give some kind of speech or something. I really should go see him, but I'm too lazy. And traffic will be hell.

Side note, what time does the GOP debate start tonight?

I have a bad feeling that Trump is going to rip into Kasich in this debate. He hasn't needed to go after him because he hasn't been a threat up until now, but with Ohio coming up it's a different story. Kasich doesn't seem like much of a fighter so I'll probably be cringing and pitying him a lot throughout the night.

I wonder what would happen if Trump comes through New Orleans again if I show up along the route his motorcade takes and just flip him off.

He reminds me of 'Ol Gil from the Simpsons with his demeanor.

Damn shame too, Kasich is the last candidate in the GOP I'm down with. If not him, I'm spoiling my vote and going third party.

well, I have connections. I know people with high quality video camera's. I'd have them come along so I have proof for not only having the fool who hit me arrested, but also to sue Trump for inciting a riot.

I'm sure he's chill, doesn't mean I agree with him on much. That said, I think tea parties who attack Obama for everything are just like radical progressives during the Bush administration who blamed him for everything. (And keep in mind, Bush Jr. was a poor president.)

Many politicians probably aren't bad guys in person. I've met Sarah Palin twice now, she's friendly and folksy enough, I could just never vote for her. Ever. Jeff Merkley is incredibly friendly as well.

Be careful. Who knows what the Secret Service will do.

I mean, I don't agree with much of his politics, but he's the most tolerable/sensible Republican and I cast my primary vote for him in Texas. I feel like I have a stake in him, but I know that he'll likely have his backside ripped open by Trump tonight, and he'll seem meek and expendable.

I dunno. Florida is, objectively, the bigger prize.

What do you mean? Kasich was a fighter when he was in the House.

Here is my assessment of all the candidates (not to offend anyone, ok? My opinion)

Ted Cruz looks like a villain and a jerk
Marco Rubio is a sissy that looks like he's about to pee his pants every time he tries to say something serious.
John Kasich is honestly not that bad of a candidate, but no one listens to him, and I suppose he is weak as well if you really think about it
Donald Trump is crazy, and he doesn't really know how to run a country. His speeches are so vague that we often don't know what he is actually going to do to achieve the aims he has set for the country, and he lies about a lot of statistics. However, he has been victimized by a lot of people that don't want him to become president, and I don't think that is okay either, rather a disadvantage to him. I feel that he is so different that a lot of people only want to vote for him so that they can see what happens when/if he becomes president, which is the wrong reason to vote for a president.

Honestly, I don't like any of the candidates in this race at all, but the two from this party that I would definitely not vote for are Marco Rubio and Ted Cruz.

He's been sued more times than Lindsay Lohan has had sex.

I'd love to see Trump's ego and wallet taken down a notch, but it ain't happening.

Have you seen his presidential campaign, though? He doesn't fight like the others do.

Wait, did you vote for the Democrats as well in Texas? I guess you had an open primary.

I still haven't voted in my state primary, my ballot hasn't even come in. I'll vote Kasich if he's still in the race.

Oregon, by the way, we don't vote until sometime in May. I just scrambled to get the voting registration for the new state done as well, that way I could vote as an Oregonian for the first time.
